We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Rhoda Jean Schechter, z”l, beloved wife of Sam Schechter, z”l, and mother of June Schechter, Linda Schechter, and Caryl Englander. Rhoda was blessed with seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
Rhoda, of blessed memory, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 20, 2024, just two months shy of her 100th birthday, surrounded by her adoring family.
After many years of owning and operating the Pioneer Country Club kosher hotel in the Catskill Mountains, Rhoda and Sam moved their family back to Miami Beach in 1968. There, they were prominent and generous members of the Jewish community and owned and operated the kosher Caribbean Hotel for 27 years.
May the entire family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may Rhoda’s memory always be for a blessing.
